Diode-108 Drum Machine Free

Diode-108 is the drum machine you've been waiting for. It's packed with a variety of built-in vintage, classic, and acoustic kits, but you can easily mix and match the samples provided to make your own custom kits. Or import wav files for even more variety. Once you've built your groove, DIODE-108's drag-and-drop beat effects make it fun and easy to create beats you've never heard before.

This free version is fully usable, with no ads and no timeouts, but it lacks save and export options compared to the full version.

Features:

• Drag and drop effects let you put effects on individual beats.
• Drum kits licensed from respected partners. Dubsounds, Samples From Mars, Orange Tree Samples, and 99Sounds.
• 16 drum voices with unlimited patterns that you can arrange into your own songs.
• Each pattern can have its own swing and tempo multiplier.
• Every voice has PER BEAT control of pan, volume, tone, pitch, decay, compression, and distortion, delay, and reverb.
• Turn NOTE MODE on for any voice and control the musical note (up or down an octave from the original pitch). Great for basslines or pitched percussion.
• Mix and Match kits (easily substitute any sample in any kit). Want an 808 kick in a 909 kit? No problem.
• See the Diode-108 in action in this {See video at top of page}.
• MIDI sync.
• MIDI Note In.

Sequencer
Build your beat on a 16x16 pattern grid. 16 voices is almost twice the number of voices of some of our competitors, and it means that you can have an 808 kit with all the instruments you're looking for (not just some of them). Set tempo and swing. Several time signatures are supported (and each pattern can have its own).

Pads
Tap your beat on our 4 by 4 array of drum pads. Record into the active pattern, or just play along.

Drum Machine
Unprecedented control over your drum kit. Dial in the settings you want, mix and match samples from different kits, and save out your modified custom kits for use in any song. How much control do you have? An amazing 7 dials for each of the 16 drum voices.

FX
Diode-108's crown jewel is its drag-and-drop beat FX. Want a reverse cowbell? Want a bitcrushed tom? Want a cymbal that performs a pitch dive across several beats? Just drag and drop the effect tokens onto beats, and drag them left and right to cover any beats you like. Turn a long-lasting cymbal into a rhythmic backbone. You have to hear it to believe it. Head over to our SoundCloud playlist for sample songs.

Song
Build up a collection of named patterns from scratch, or import selected patterns from existing songs. Then drag and drop the patterns to build up a song. Each pattern can have its own swing setting and tempo multiplier if you like.
